GH For Female-Hating Fans
I guess nobody's watching ABC Daytime soap opera, GENERAL HOSPITAL but angry, white straight guys holed up at home due to the flu or a broken leg (or maybe football season's over).
It's fairly obvious from the Playboy channel over at ALL MY CHILDREN -- save for my brief respite with Jesse and Angie -- that horny, white straight guys are the targets, what with Greenlee, Kendall, Annie, Amanda, and Babe brought out in various stages of tart for their enjoyment. Two chicks horndogging over one hunk of a guy? A threesome dream come true.
This past Friday, GH firmly joined the rank and file. Every woman on this show is put firmly in her place by one gender stereotype or another.
The good girls, such as they are -- Kate, Elizabeth, Robin -- are stuck-up, uptight, self-centered, hectoring little prissy bitches you wouldn't wanna spend 15 minutes over tea with much less pass in the hospital hallway.
You can recognize them by the way they treat the bad girls, like unclean, stupid whores. Just like daddy told them.
The bad girls are not just bad, they're intolerable. It doesn't matter if you're turning in the acting of a lifetime, working overtime to do exactly what the writers and the producers want from you (which could change from day to day depending on the wind). Eventually, within the week, they'll have you pulling some godawful stunt -- like using nepotism to pull strings for your slacker cousin to spy on a romantic rival 'cause you're too weak to deal with a miscarriage and the consequences of your mob-related choices -- that cause most of majority female fans to flinch, groan, vomit and change the channel to something more productive, like drywalling the garage in 20 minutes.
**Spoiler Alert**
This week, they're gonna have a young boy named Michael caught in a mob crossfire and get hit by a bullet meant for his mobster father Sonny. Michael may not make it out of intensive care. But who cares about all that? Who cares about putting the countless majority of women who are moms or have moms through a living torture, having them think IRL about their own children's welfare... when it's all for the greater good, right?
To entertain those horny, angry, white straight male fans we have such an abundance of. Everybody knows straight guys get off on mob violence.
